Zero Punctuation reviews ‘Gears of War 2′ for Xbox 360
For those not aware of the Zero Punctuation reviews, shame on you, and prepare to be blown away by the funniest games reviewer this side of Christendom. This week, Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw reviews Gears of War 2 on the Xbox 360. Fans of the game may want to sharpen their virtual pencils before watching.
I’m personally not a fan of the Gears of War games, not liking the muddy graphics or weird-bodied macho men that make up the main protagonists. But even I seem to appreciate the game more than Croshaw, as he rips it to pieces for its lack of a cohesive storyline and abundance of handily placed chest-high walls, and lots more besides.
Watch it, enjoy it, and remember not to direct your abusive comments towards me. Visit Zero Punctuation for more videos of a similar nature.

I have to wait until I get home.
Work blocks this stuff.

DWH, if you’re referring to us embedding the Zero Punctuation video, then realize there’s a reason the videos are embeddable. We’re fine to embed it with a couple of paragraphs around it. And get used to it because this may become a regular thing.
If you’re referring to the fact that Royzy mentioned this video, I only saw that comment when I logged into the site to post it so I hardly took the idea from him.

Dave, I thought you were British?
“realize” should be “realise”.
Damn the “American English” language…

“Making more money than a triple cunted hooker on the day when the troops come home….” bravo

Its the american spell check. They change everything to the American language.
January 28th, 2009
I am British, and yes, realising is proper English. Unfortunately, American English is the language of the Web and I’ve been so indoctrinated in its use, it now comes natural.
Z’s for S’s, no U’s, and I’ve had to cut down on my local colloquialisms too. I fought it for a while but I like my job too much

May as well SW, given how the UK is on the brink of bankrupcy.

dave … you still owe me a killzone beta…
January 28th, 2009
Haha wtf! Yeah yeah Dave w/e. I posted that comment just after the video was originally posted at 5:30pm (or whatever time Yahtzee uploads).
You cheeky monkey Dave Parrack.
I’m glad you are promoting them though, Zero Punctuation is very good and definitely worth looking through the old archives for COD4, etc.

To Dave Parrack:
SHAME ON YOU! Ben Croshaw IS a disgusting human being, and I think you should be fired for showing this garbage.
All he ever does is talks about his penis, and shows us how he likes to masturbate about everything. And you think this is something that should be shown? How old are you, Parrack? One? Because I’m sure your not old enough to have kids.
When he is not talking about something creepily homoerotic, he’s swearing, cursing, and tries his best to offend everyone.
He even said, in all seriousness, that anime is a ‘pedophile making Factory’.
You think he’s joking? He is only *pretending* to joke around so he can say whatever he wants. Comedians have only been doing this for, oh, I don’t know, a *thousand* years! And if you really, Really think he is kidding then go look at Psychonauts, Orange Box, and Mailbag Showdown.
After those videos, if you still think he’s just “joking”, then please do something for me, which you’ll enjoy a lot. Go to your bathroom, and inject yourself with cleaning ammonia. It’s really really fun!
I been offended more then once; and his fans are almost as bad as he is.
It really is sad when good people like Douglas Adams dies at the young age of 49, and yet evil people like Ben Croshaw, and Andrew Dice Clay gets to live on.
‘Watch it, enjoy it, and remember not to direct your abusive comments towards me.’
Why? You’re the one who brought this crap here, and I can’t go to Croshaw, because he tells everyone to [F-word] themselves. Why couldn’t you link to something like Ebeeto ( Hitman Walkthrough), or Djy1991 (Half life: Full Life Consequences), instead of something that makes kids much worse. Ebeeto isn’t for kids, but it’s better the this garbage.
And people wonder why Xbox live is full of cursing babes.
(Sorry for the bad grammar)

Zoar, you need a chill pill. He posted it because it’s FUNNY. It cuts up a game that many of the fanboys worship just because it’s on the 360.
January 29th, 2009
davep – “muddy graphics”? is this why they earned so many awards for their graphics? thanks for proving you like to comment on games you’ve never touched.
January 29th, 2009
Ncaissie,
Gears is not worshiped because it’s on the 360 it worshiped because it’s one of the Best and Greatest games you can play in this generation. If it was worshiped because it was on the 360 then every game on the 360 should be having huge sales but that’s not the case is it? Not even Metal Gear Solid, Resistance or LBP had Gears sales. The game is an icon and you Playstation People wish you had it.
January 29th, 2009
hahaha… so I guess you forgot all those sites that awarded MGS 4 the best graphics… how convenient…
also CAD… Gears and Halo dont have Wii Fit or Wii Sports sales… your point???
but yeah… I wish I had a 360 for gears… but it should piss you off that a AAA game would have bugs and glitches that even low production value games dont have… youre paying for a premium service with LIVE… and it seems like you dont care that you have to wait for 20 minutes to get matchmaking…
but youre rabid fanboys… if you actually cared… youd be pissed off at the Gears 2 glitches as much any other person…
even Resistance 2 didnt have as many glitches as Gears…
hahahhaahha
wow… I feel rejuvinated…
January 29th, 2009
move from chest high walls to ore chest high walls and bombs that explode buildings into more chest high walls…
FUCKING AWESOME!!!
I cant tell if Zoar is being sarcastic or not… we should make up a rule that people should write “/sarcasm” at the end of their sentence… it would be much easier…
also… I like the “muddy” graphics of Gears… people say its too brown… well it fits it perfectly.. pulls it off great… its what I imagine that war torn planet would look like…
people expect every shooter to be placed on a tropical island… jeez…

dwh
I bet you imagine you sound really awesome.
Are you about 13?

“youre paying for a premium service with LIVE… and it seems like you dont care that you have to wait for 20 minutes to get matchmaking…”
Dark we are just simple folk who are prepared to wait for stupidly good games to start, although the new patch has fixed that problem
January 29th, 2009
Gears is fun, its not as good as people make it out to be (veeerrrryyy repetative imo).
January 29th, 2009
lock_down i’d love to see your logic for thinking the uK is on the brink of bankruptcy, we’re not friggin Iceland. But spellcheck on my computer is annoying,it thinks everything i write is wrong because it’s not “American English”.
Anyways i feel disgusted that i haven’t spent at least an hour or 2 on the PS3 today.

If you had a 360 and a good internet connection you wouldn’t talk so much shit. Dude that matchmaking problem is a thing of the past. If you weren’t so infected by there PS3 people maybe you could see a little clearer.
January 29th, 2009
and if you had a PS3 you would be a lot more credible… but you never had intelligent things to say didja??
anyways… if you dont get pissed and make a fuss about things like Bugs and multiplayer… then you dont help your service… they dont bother to improve… so learn to bitch about the things you own… I do… I bitched on Socom forums… I bitched on PS3 forums for BC… no one said anything… but if enough people do it… they are more likely to do it…
whatever… be like kev and fuck off…
